PREFACE
WHEN the last official historian of the State of New York shall have
completed his labors, when all the official records shall have been
transcribed and printed, and when the final judgment on each
man's work is rendered, one name must stand pre-eminent in the list of those
who have contributed to their fellow men a full quantity of service, and so
built for themselves more enduring memorials than those of marble or bronze.
To the Hon. Hugh Hastings, State Historian from 1895 to 1907, must
be given the credit for beginning a systematic publication of the rare manu-
scripts, documents and records of the state, supplementing the invaluable
work of John R. Brodhead and Dr. E. B. O'Callaghan, of over half a
century before, and the later but not less important labors of Berthold Fernow
in the late seventies and early eighties. Had it not been for the prescience,
ability and editorial skill of Mr. Hastings, his fidelity to his trust, and above
all a most commendable desire to serve his commonwealth, no matter what
the personal cost and sacrifice might be, this state would not be the possessor
today of many volumes of printed records, whose originals for the most part,
are now forever lost.
That most regrettable and unlocked for fire, which on March 29th of
the present year (19! I ) , almost destroyed the western wing of the Capitol,
and consumed the State Library with its literary treasures of books and manu-
scripts, among which were most of the documents published by Mr. Hastings
and the earlier historians, was indeed, as proclaimed by the State's Executive
at the time — "A National Calamity."
While the loss of so many letters, scrips and records is of course irretriev-
able (although the salvage will be greater than at first supposed) still the
work done by Mr. Hastings will provide for historians and scholars, for all
time, an ample source from which to extract a satisfactory measure of facts
and happenings of the periods his published volumes represent.
From 1 899 to 1 905 the then State Historian and his staff were occupied,
in connection with other duties, in preparing and publishing the eight volumes
known as the Public Papers of George Clinton — First Governor of Nexv
York.
vi Pref
ace
During this period, a general index for this entire series was hkewise being
compiled, by the Historian and his official force, although its issuance at that
time was unavoidably delayed.
When the Hon. Victor H. Paltsits, in July, 1907, succeeded Mr. Hast-
ings as State Historian, he decided it best, after due examination of the index
material on hand, to change the form to that of an Analytical Index, rather
than that of the general one, originally prepared. Regarding this change Mr.
Paltsits states: "This index, then, is an index deduced virtually from the
text as printed, with such justification of matter as could be obtained through
considerable research. It differs also markedly in form from the manuscript
index that it replaces. The general plan of the readjusted index is mine and
for that I assume responsibility."
The present State Historian, who assumed office on May 22nd, 1911,
finds the index nearly ready for publication from A to F, and is pleased to
submit this important work of his predecessors to the historical public.
He is also glad to be able to join with the former incumbent of the office,
in hearty commendation and praise of the work done by Dr. Richard E. Day,
Chief Clerk of the Historian's office, on this index. It represents over three
years of the hardest and most exacting toil on Dr. Day's part, in spite of the
knowledge that the reward, in the published book, must be entirely inadequate
to the labor performed.
The preparation of a really good index, of any sort, concededly requires a
devotion to minutiae, a knowledge of the subject matter, a faithfulness to
the work in hand, and a surpassing patience such as few may hope to possess.
For this reason our unstinted praise and unqualified approval should be, and
gladly is, extended to all who have labored so hard and earnestly to make
this particular index a success.
The completion of this Analytical Index to its present stopping point, in-
volved even more labor than was originally contemplated.
Cross indexes have been freely used. Through the diHgent researches of
Dr. Day, given names, missing in the original letters, have been sought out and
inserted in the index, making a most valuable addition to the primal form.
Personal and place names have been standardized and lack of uniformity
corrected. Old and now disused geographical names of counties, towns and
other civil divisions have also been determined, and the original sites and
bounds located.
According to the office memoranda, included in this volume will be found:
Pref
ace vii
" Two lists of letters written by Clinton to individuals and to public bodies;
a joint list of letters written to Clinton by individuals and public bodies, and a
list of miscellaneous letters." These lists are followed by the index proper.
As soon as possible, consistent with the other demands upon the office
force the index will be completed through the balance of the alphabet.
Every effort has been made by the editors to supply missing dates, and to
insert such corrections as seemed necessary for the proper interpretation
of the index material.
Doubtless errors will be found by critical seekers. Nothing has yet reached
perfection in this finite world, especially in published form. But if this index
shall serve a modicum of its intended purpose, if to the searchers after historical
truth and exactness of facts, it shall be of even a little help, I am certain its
compilers will feel they have not labored for naught, nor spent their time and
strength in vam.
